LONGER RADIO PERMITS WILL BE ADVANCED Federal Commission Works On Detailed Report for Congress. By United Press WASHINGTON. Sept. 3.—The federal radio commission is preparing a report for congress, asking it to be granted authority to issue long term radio broadcasting licenses instead of ninety-day permits. The commission, it was stated by officials, now feels that the broadcasting situation is well under governmental control and that licenses should be issued for periods of from one to'three years. Other recommendations for legislation being considered by the commission include suggesting a tax on broadcasting stations or new radio receiving sets to bear the expenses of carrying out radio regulations. Some consideration also is being given to modifying the radio law which divides the country into five rones and forces the President to select a radio commisisoner from each zone. Officials pointed out that under the zoning system radio problems 3re worked out on a local rather than a national basis and that the I President is restricted in his appointments and can not select two commissioners from one zone no matter what qualifications his selections rate. The commission indicated that congress at its regular session will take up the section of the radio act which prohibits the merger of wire and radio systems in the United States. Some agitation has been presented that unless the United States-modi-fies this clause. Great Britain will gain control of virtually all select communication channels through its gigantic organizations.

MUSIC OF LISZT IS VARIETY HIGHLIGHT

Adele Verne Makes No Compromise With Jazz, but Plays “Hungarian Rhapsody” and “Liebestraum.” BY WALTER D. HICKMAN A CONCERT grand piano, a little woman—then two of the great compositions of Franz Liszt. And this actually happens upon a vaudeville stage sandwiched in between a blackface act and one of the best known slapstick sketches in the business. As unusual as this situation is in vaudeville and especially in a day when jazz is the demand of the majority, it is splendid to record that the concert grand and the pianist did not go down into defeat. De Pachmann once told me that the classics could be played in a cemetery and get an appreciative audience. It was interesting to see the quiet

and intelligent reception given to Miss Verne as she played Liszt’s “Second Hungarian Rhapsody” and “Liebestraum.” Vaudeville demands

dash, pep, comedy,, falls screams and the like, but there has alw'ays been a place for great music on its very platform. The reason we have not had greater music on the four a day is * i-1C ..u,. has not been available because many of the managers could not see it. But now' with Liszt

being broadcast about every night on the radio, he is being welcomed when sincerely and artistically played by a great woman such as Miss Verne on the vaudeville stage today. I am not recording that Miss Verne knocked 'em out of their seats and cause them to yell with keen satisfaction as I have on the concert platform, but I do state that the artistry of this pianist receives the intelligent consideration of the vaudeville audience. In other words she is recognized as a fine artist, her work is not done for the flash, but rather in the spirit of love that a great painter gives his canvas. Here is no flash piano act, but that of a finely musically educated woman playing just as she would in her own studio or on the concert platform. She opens with “The Storm” and then goes into the Liszt compositions. Here is fine piano, splendid from a technical standpoint. It is most trying for any pianist to bring the heavier and more intricate compositions to mixed audiences and that is no reflection upon the audience. But it should be noted when an artist of distinction accomplishes the quiet and intelligent consideration of a. mixed audience, causing appreciation for the bigger things in music. Ms-s Verne has every right to be proud of her splendid accomplishment. I ha've received numerous requests since her coming was announced that she give at least one afternoon a program made up of Chopin. Have been informed that she is delighted with the idea and have been invited to extend personally that invitation. I hope that thij may be arranged for either the first or second show's Friday. For years, Nat C. Haines with his burlesque type of hokum comedy has been before the public. He always gets the laughs. He knows how and where to find that sort of

Frightened by a Stubborn Spreading Rash Los Angeles, Cal.—-“My husband had a rash on his body and after using the usual remedies all but one of the spots healed, but that one was very stubborn. We used every kind of a salve we ever heard of, even prescribed treatments, but still the spot spread. I heard of Resinol, and in desperation started to use the soap and ointment faithfully as directed. After using one-quarter of a small jar the spot was completely healed.” (Signed)— Mrs. C. E. Cramer. The quickness with which Resinol acts Hi most cases of skin disorder, amazes many people. Itching is usually stopped at once. To adopt Resinol Soap for every day toilet use is to keep the skin clear and soft. At all druggists. FREE sample of each. Write Retinol Dept. 74, Baltimore, Md. Resinol PAINFUL CASE OF INDIGESTION

Regular Use of Thedford’s Black-Draught Relieved This Texas Lady. "I had indigestion and a heavy feeling in my chest until I would nearly smother,” writes Mrs. J. M Jones, of 136 DeVilleneuve street, Beaumont, Texas. She mentions having a bad taste in her mouth, noticeable on arising in the morning. “I had a pain in my chest,” she explains, "and it seemed as if a knot were in the pit of my stomach. “I got so I could hardly sleep at night, my back and legs ached so bad. I was miserable. “My father had used BlackDraught at home, and my husband had used it all his life, so I knew how good it was. I would rather take Black-Draught than any other medicine, so I got a package and began taking it. After two or three ooses, i oegari to feel better, so I continued taking it regularly until I got relief. *'l keep Black-Draught in the house and take it as I need it.

Frankel and Dunlavey, blackface comedians, use ancient material but their singing at the close of the act puts it over. The movie feature is "The Flying Marine” with Ben Lyons.

FOREST BLAZES IMPERILJOWNS Fires Threaten Three Upper Wisconsin Counties. Bu United Press MILWAUKEE, Sept. 3.—A thick pall of heavy smoke hung over three upper Wisconsin counties today as forest fires continued their sweep through expansive timberlands. Residents and fire patrolmen alike fought to prevent spread of the flames, which threatened to destroy thousands of acres of forest lands in Forest, Oconto and Bayfield counties. At least four cities, Choat, Lakewood, Laona and Crandon, were imperiled, and one of these Laona, entirely surrounded by timberland, faced the danger of being destroyed. Seven fires were reported in Forest county alone. Extremely dry weather, which has made the timberlands ready fuel, has added to the menace, according to R. E. Percy, fire warden at Superior. 400 French Left Homeless Bu United Press PARIS, Sept. 3.—A fire broke out in the outskirts of Paris near the Porte De Pantin Monday night, destroying 200 huts occupied by laborers. Some four hundred w'ere left homeless.
